Hear ye! Hear ye! This is the first ever dyno testing video of Chevrolet's most outstanding road legal track machine, the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.
When the golden bow tie manufacturer first unveiled the modern version of the Z/28, petrolheads and brand enthusiasts alike didn't have much to say about the uber Camaro except "why is it so damn expensive?"
The 7.0-liter LS7 mill tightly fitted under the lightweight ventilated hood churns out a respectable 505 horsepower and 481 lb-ft (652 Nm) of torque. It doesn't sound like much, but due to its godlike track-focused driving dynamics, this car is actually faster on a closed circuit than a 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition.
Obviously, most of the $75,000 this car commanded when it was still available for order went into all the little go-faster components that transform the standard Camaro into a great pedal-to-the-metal driver's machine. But how much oomph difference is between brochure promises and the real thing?
As it happens, the Z/28 pulled 455 horsepower and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque at the rear wheels during the dyno run, which translates in a mere 10 percent power and 13 percent torque loss through the drivetrain. Camaro fan or not, you can't deny those are more than respectable figures.
